       NAME
             quotacheck - ufs file system quota consistency checker

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/sbin/quotacheck [-v] [-p] filesystem . . .
             /usr/sbin/quotacheck -a [-p] [-v]

       DESCRIPTION
             quotacheck examines each file system, builds a table of
             current disk usage, and compares this table against that
             stored in the disk quota file for the file system.  If any
             inconsistencies are detected, both the quota file and the
             current system copy of the incorrect quotas are updated (the
             latter only occurs if an active file system is checked).

             quotacheck expects each file system to be checked to have a
             quota file named quotas in the root directory.  If none is
             present, quotacheck will ignore the file system.

             quotacheck accesses the character special device in
             calculating the actual disk usage for each user.  Thus, the
             file systems checked should be quiescent while quotacheck is
             running.

             The options are:

             -v    Indicate the calculated disk quotas for each user on a
                   particular file system.  quotacheck normally reports
                   only those quotas modified.

             -a    Check the file systems indicated in /etc/mnttab to be
                   read-write.  Only those file systems that have "rq" in
                   the mntopts field of the /etc/vfstab file are checked.

             -p    Run parallel passes on the required file systems.

       FILES
             /etc/mnttab         mounted file systems
             /etc/vfstab         list of default parameters for each file
                                 system
